ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced availability of the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM gaming monitor. It boasts a 32-inch 4K QD-OLED anti-reflective panel that delivers astounding visuals at a buttery-smooth 240 Hz. Featuring third-generation QD-OLED technology, the PG32UCDM delivers vibrant colors, the deepest black hues, and the brightest imagery. Plus, a 0.03 ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time ensures blur-free action, even in intense gameplay. Inside, an advanced custom heatsink offers exceptional cooling to reduce the likelihood of burn-in and improve performance and longevity of the OLED panel. This premium monitor is designed for gamers who demand the very best, offering an unbeatable combination of size, image quality, and refresh-rate speed for exhilarating gaming experiences.

The 240 Hz refresh rate of PG32UCDM eradicates motion blur and delivers buttery-smooth visuals, even in the most fast-paced titles. The 0.03 ms GTG response time eliminates ghosting and ensures pixel-perfect precision to provide gamers with a competitive edge. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro technology and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility ensure supersmooth, tear-free visuals with low latency. Plus, the back of the panel is wrapped in graphene film to improve heat dissipation while the custom heatsink with integrated airflow channels optimizes thermal performance to minimize the risk of burn-in.



Ultimate HDR immersion
Third-generation QD-OLED technology delivers a breathtaking 1,500,000:1 contrast and exceptional colors. The PG32UCDM is the first ROG monitor that offers Dolby Vision and HDR10 support, with both HDR formats easily controlled via the OSD menu. VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black compliance ensures the deepest black hues and dazzling colors, while the 99% DCI-P3 gamut and true 10-bit color deliver cinematic realism.

Additionally, an optional uniform brightness keeps luminance levels consistent for better viewing, even when changing the size of bright white windows. It makes marathon gaming sessions more comfortable by reducing potential stress on the eyes caused by extreme changes in brightness.

Unmatched flexibility
The PG32UCDM provides users with several aspect ratios to choose from, allowing gamers to select a 24.5-inch esports mode or choose a 27-inch mode to suit different game genres. In addition, ROG DisplayWidget Center provides an intuitive interface for accessing OLED Care functions and adjusting monitor settings effortlessly with a mouse. The PG32UCDM also includes ROG Gaming AI technology with Dynamic Shadow Boost and Dynamic Crosshair features to enhance gaming experiences.

The PG32UCDM offers extensive connectivity options, including DisplayPort 1.4 (DSC), HDMI 2.1, USB-C with 90-watt Power Delivery, and a headphone jack for compatibility with a wide array of multimedia devices. The PG32UCDM has an MSRP of US $1,299 and includes a three-year warranty that covers panel burn-in.

This looks like an amazing monitor.

I'll keep waiting for a more affordable 1440p 144hz offering, if those can even materialize.

No HDR, only "VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black compliance"? I guess max brightness isn't really high enough, even for mediocre HDT 400? Or deliberately limited to avoid burn in?

But other than that, high price, probable pentile matrix and unknown burn in resistance it looks really nice. But I will wait for lower price and a bit more user experience with these OLEDs.

Pricing is surprisingly fair for a 4k 240Hz OLED ROG offering.
Still too expensive for my tastes but I was thinking about 1500$.

The OLED panels internally run at 960hz, so I don't thing they will go down to 144hz OLEDs at any time. I think they will just improve the scalar until they reach 960hz and then all OLEDs will be in the 360-960hz range. First gen QD-OLED was 165hz, but that is behind us, and will stay behind us.

that’s trueblack hdr 400, also has a peak 1000nit brightness. As a matter of fact, all OLED TVs if tested would get trueblack hdr400, but max brightness on those can hit 1600+ nits.

Native panel frequency isn't really relevant, they can and will still differentiate monitors and offer "office", "art" models with scalers that only suppirt 60 Hz, I'm sure.

they've already gone as low as $600, won't go lower than that for a while they cost a lot to manufacture

MSI one was $950 for a while

Anyways the Asus one sold out before people could buy one... /:

Getting something of this tier, probably the next gen, when I upgrade to RTX 50xx with display outs that can do it natively with no compression.

Isn't QD Oled weak under any kind of light? I would have an issue being forced to play in a dark room all the time.

4K is hard to drive, 1440p is a so much easier, and I speak from experience plus I am not sure I would trust a OLED for daily use on my desktop because of the risk of burn-in it's not like it can handle a lot of hours where you just browse, have static things on the screen like IPS do really well.

I own a OLED TV and I try to take care of it the best I can it survived 2 moves so far and honestly picture is wow nothing can compared but they ain't cheap which is my biggest worry of them all.

I've put myself a soft limit of ~500€ since I'm already happy with my current one. I don't think it will happen anytime soon but there's hope.

Pricing is not fair.
DisplayHDR 400TB is a fake HDR
There's is no DisplayPort 2.1 either.
This is a premium monitor.

For you it's a premium monitor, for Asus it's a average model.

You buy the name when going with Asus not the features.

Been waiting since August for it but still can't find it (France)

OLED, glossy (but coating for reflection mitigation), 240Hz, 4K, flat...I'm happy I waited before changing my lightbleeding, matte 2016 IPS

DP 2.1 would have been good tho but I'm not anti-DSC

I'll see those MSI qd-oled and HP/Aorus monitors (with DP 2.1) before deciding which one I'd pick

I've seen this here before. Care to elaborate?
He's trying to say that because 400 nit isn't enough to display actual HDR contrast between pixels on an LCD, that it won't be enough on an OLED.

The difference is LCD entire peak brightness is 400, OLED HDR400 peak is more like 1500 nit on partial coverage, because HDR content is never just a full white screen but a small percentage.

If you actually understand the serious differences in panel tech, calling OLED not true HDR is laughable. Anything except OLED at this point is crap HDR.

For those complaining about price, this is a 4K240 screen, with the most premium display tech we can mass produce. What you pay is what you get.

Here is VESA's website for basic information:
And here HDR performance table:

The lowest "400" categories are fake HDR. Simply not enough brightness (luminance). VESA has received many complaints to remove this lowest tier, as it's borderline misleading. In TV space, nobody sells real HDR TV with 400 nits of brightness on 10% patch.

Bare minimum for cheap IPS monitor, "entry" HDR if you wish, must be 600 tier, and 500 for OLED.
For premium monitor like this one, over $1,000, with Dolby Vision, it should be 1000 for IPS and 600 for OLED.
Mind you, 600 nits on TVs is still too low. Nowadays, proper HDR TVs have 1000 nits and above.

View attachment 334907
Do you understand that OLED may have a 100% ABL brightness of 400 nit but a 75 ABL of 600 and a peak brightness of over 1500?

Calling OLED with perfect contrast, per pixel lighting and instant response times "not real HDR" just because it's 100% ABL is 400 nit is laughable.

VESA certifies monitors in general. HDR400 LCD is not comparable to a HDR400 OLED.

There's is no DisplayPort 2.1 either.
4k240hz 10bit RGB require 68.56 Gbit/s.
So, even with the consumer version of DP 2.1 54Gbps, it would need DSC. Only Amd Radeon Pro w7900 and w7800 with their full DP 2.1 80Gbps implementation could handle the monitor without compression.

HDMI 2.1 48Gbps with DSC is the way to go. It also features a couple of them so you can connect 2 sources.

I also want to point out that DisplayHDR400 (which is actually fake HDR) and DisplayHDR True Black 400 are 2 different certifications. The peak brightness of a True Black certification is higher, the certication is a compromise between 10% windows brightness and full screen brightness which is affected by ABL to prevent burn-in.
So the peak brightness is higher, the DCI-P3 coverage is 99% and the black level is guaranteed by the self emissive nature of the panel (also, no blooming without backlight).

I'm running a Samsung s95b in my living room and I've had no issues with lighting when gaming as long as I can just avoid direct sunlight on the screen itself. I was pleasantly surprised.

Pricing is not fair.

Bare minimum for cheap IPS monitor, "entry" HDR if you wish, must be 600 tier, and 500 for OLED.
For premium monitor like this one, over $1,000, with Dolby Vision, it should be 1000 for IPS and 600 for OLED.
Mind you, 600 nits on TVs is still too low. Nowadays, proper HDR TVs have 1000 nits and above.

So much effort talking about DisplayHDR 400 when in fact it's the DisplayHDR 400 Trueblack that it's rated for smh. They are different ratings.
